When what every bank is doing these days is pretty much the same: cutting interest rate, Capital One surprised me last week with a move that bucks the trend: they increased the yield of the InterestPlus Savings Account from 1.25% to 1.30% APY. That’s pretty rare, considering how much rates have been cut by online banks […]

We are that close of reaching the goal I set last year. However, with the closing of the house we bought last month coming soon plus a big tax bill, this is probably as close as we can get in while. March was a very good month for stocks, with the Nasdaq leading the way […]
